Title: Monsturd
Type: B-horror
Year: 2003
Netflix Synopsis: Serial killer Jack Schmidt is a fugitive who has the police and FBI hot on his trail. After being cornered and wounded by law enforcement authorities, he falls into a sewage tunnel where the chemical company Dutech has also been dumping its toxic waste. The poisonous mixture of feces and chemicals mysteriously transforms Jack into a part-human, part-feces monster who sets out on a deadly rampage.
What I Thought: Keep this in mind: I love B-horror movies. I watch them religiously so I know what should and should not be considered. The premise of this movie should have been my first indication that it was a joke. B-horror movies are usually low-budget movies but this one was a NO budget movie and it showed. It seemed to have been filmed with a cell phone camera and was editing using Windows Movie Maker. It even included the cheesy scene transitions. Once I got used to the shady camera work, I realized what a train wreck the plot was also! First off, it's a frame story told by a 9-year-old girl to her father as a bedtime story. Then you've got bad guys running around, companies spilling toxic waste into the sewer and poop being smeared on the walls of bathrooms everywhere. Nothing went logically together. I got a headache from trying to keep up and having to watch the shakey camera shots so I gave up after 20ish minutes. I don't wish that 20 minutes on my biggest enemy.
Rating: / 5 (the 1 star was just for effort)
